I need help creating a Facebook Store

I am having a really hard time figuring out how to create a Facebook store. I have found numerous apps that allow you to create a store, basically e-commerce. I am an affiliate of several companies and would like to list products on my page or even have the ability to do this through my albums (based on category). The biggest problem with these apps that I find, is that I do not need a "shopping cart", as I want to link them to the company directly, as it will be tracked to me. One other problem that I am having is that you cannot post HTML in Facebook either. SO, this is limiting me. It also seems as if I cannot just get a link for a product (using Commission Junction) that works. In other words, I cannot get a text link for individual items that will take them to the purchasing page. I am rather new, so I apologize if I sound like a complete fool. :confused: But, hopefully one of you warriors out there get what I am trying to do and can maybe help me accomplish this.

Thank You !!

    I use an ecommerce storefront platform called BigCommerce. They have an easy click of the mouse integration into Facebook so that it has the same complete shopingcart functionality.

      Now, with the shopping cart option, I'm not the one handling the sale directly. I need to link them to the company for that. It will track it back to me, and I will get paid commission off that particular sale. I am very new to this, so try not to get frustrated with me . I just want a store setup, but the ability for them to click 'buy' and be redirected to the companies site through my linking. Is this even possible? Stinks being a newbie, luckily people here are very helpful !!

    I use StoreYa just google it.
    It fits me as an affiliate cuz I can redirect my products to different online stores, using different aff links.

      It looks like StoreYa only allows one platform.... and will not work with Commission Junction I'm so ready to give up on this idea.... FB prevents posting anything in there

    You could use a WordPress Blog in an iFrame, and have that as your fanpage. Then you could do just about anything you want with it. I have a link in my signature to my site that provides WP Themes and Templates for FanPage iFrames.
